Our mission is to provide the most complete, custom
fit orthotic to a selected population of patients to promote
long-term positive outcomes for people with musculoskeletal pain.
Our method will be based on a comprehensive biomechanical evaluation
to assess the effects of abnormal joint motion on the surrounding
joints and tissues. The highest level of service will be provided to
the client both before and after the dispensing of the orthotic.
This will insure that the client has both a comfortable and
corrective custom orthotic.

Orthotics |
|
A specifically-trained
physical therapist will conduct an evaluation of the foot with special
emphasis placed on its structure and orientation. Included in the
evaluation will be a video taken of the client walking on the treadmill.
If orthotics are deemed necessary, a plaster cast of each foot is taken.
The casts are then sent to Stride Orthotics, one of the premier
manufacturers of orthotics on the East Coast.
An orthotic is a custom fit,
semi-rigid device used to help control abnormal joint motion that is
causing harmful effects on the surrounding joints and tissues. An
orthotic is easily placed inside of most shoes and sneakers and can be
used with all activities. |
|
COST
|
The initial biomedical evaluation is FREE! The
patient will only be charged if they decide to be fitted for orthotics.
At the time of your evaluation, your insurance coverage/benefits will
be verified. |

BENEFITS
|
|
Almost any patient with foot, ankle, knee, hip or
back pain might benefit from an evaluation to assess if there are any
structural deformities that are affecting a patient’s joint function.
